Condition
8
The car underwent a significant refurbishment in 2019, including a repaint, chassis powder coating, interior reupholstering, and engine/transaxle rebuild. Recent 2026 work by the selling dealer addressed paint touch-ups, electrical repairs, panel fit, and replacement of various components like the distributor, battery, and voltage regulator. While most major items have been addressed, the mention of paint touch-ups and panel fit adjustments suggests it's not entirely pristine but very well-maintained after extensive work.

This 1952 Volkswagen Beetle Deluxe is one of a limited number of split-window “Zwitter” examples built between October 1952 and March 1953, and it features the revised dashboard, vent windows, and exterior trim of the upcoming oval-window Beetle along with 15″ wheels, semaphore turn signals, a push-button radio, and chrome bumpers.
The car is said to have been first owned by an Indianapolis Volkswagen dealership until 1974, after which time it went to private-party owners in Indiana and California.
A 2019 refurbishment consisted of refinishing the body in Pastel Green, powder-coating the chassis, reupholstering the beige interior, and rebuilding the 1,131cc flat-four and the four-speed manual transaxle.
